Utilization of Bank Overdraft
Recording a negative bank balance when a company uses its credit facility for payments.

| Bank Overdraft Payable | Liability (+) | - | 1,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
If your bank balance goes below zero, the 'Cash' asset doesn't become a negative asset—it becomes a 'Current Liability' called Bank Overdraft.
